  • Patent number: 9507951
    Abstract: Technologies for secure input and display of a virtual touch user interface include a computing device having a security monitor that may protect memory regions from being accessed by untrusted code. The security monitor may use hardware virtualization features such as extended page tables or directed I/O to protect the memory regions. A protected touch filter driver intercepts requests for touch input and allocates a transfer buffer. The transfer buffer is protected by the security monitor. A touch screen controller may write touch input data into the protected transfer buffer. The touch input data may be shared by the touch filter driver with authorized applications through a protected communication channel. A graphical virtual user interface may be generated by trusted code and rendered into a hardware overlay surface. The user interface may include a virtual keyboard. The security monitor may protect the overlay surface. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
